Put popped popcorn and peanuts in large mixing bowl. Set aside. In saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Bring the syrup to a boil for 5 minutes-watch close! Remove pot from burner and add baking soda. It will become foamy. Quickly pour over the popcorn and peanuts. Stir until popcorn is covered well. Pour onto large cookie sheet. Spread out and bake in 250 degrees oven for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes, until cool. Store in airtight container.
Enjoy!

While cooking with these recipes, please keep in mind, most of them are spiced to my liking. Feel free to add more or go lighter on the spices. When I try new recipes, I might omit something I do not care for or add extra amounts if I favor that particular ingredient. However, be careful with baking ingredients, such as those like flour, baking soda, baking powder, eggs and so on. The result in a cake rising properly may be disappointing. With that said, have fun and enjoy!

Dip and let cool a bit before eating. Be creative, you can dip anything that can be skewed into the chocolate. Enjoy!*A small crock pot works well as a fondue pot.
